I bought to use on a Sony a6500 along with a Sony E 35mm F/1.8 Oss lens. This lens is way too soft in the images and video. Compared to the 35mm, it's not even close. The 35mm is razor sharp for pictures & video with very quick focus. The 16mm will most likely be my first B&H return.

Got this lens to use on a gimbal. It's smaller than the kit lens with a wider aperture.

Sony E 16mm f/2.8 was one of the three lenses that Sony officially announced with the release of its new NEX system. Along with Sony E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, it was also offered as one of the kit lens options for the original Sony NEX-3, NEX-5 and later NEX-C3 and NEX-5n.

The SEL16F28 16mm f/2.8 Wide-Angle Lens ($249.99 direct) is currently the smallest lens available for Sony NEX cameras -its diameter is only 2.4 inches and its depth less than an inch.

Really not bad at all. The 5N does very nice with this one, even with the WA attached. The NEX 6 does even better. Not the best for brick/walls or any other flat surfaces. But this cheap pancake records scenery much better than expected. Using the WA or FE adapters adds great use to the kit.

Compact; light; at F8 very sharp; price with WA is 200

not very sharp corners wide open

At the price I had to pay in bundle with NEX-5 it is a bargain. However Panasonic shows that it could be made way better with it's Lumix G F1,7/ 20 mm

produces a slight amount of pincushion distortion (~0.6%) which is usually not objectionable in field conditions; At f/8 it is working very good all over the image field

the corner performance is rather poor especially at f/2.8 and f/4; The fairly heavy amount of lateral CAs isn't helpful

This light weight short focal length lens is a must for the NEX-5 camera and the ultra wide adapter lens VCL-ECU1 as well as the Fish eye converter VCL-ECF1 makes this combination a "must have" to complement the other NEX lenses.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality

I bought this lens for wide angle indoor an architectural shots and also as a platform for fisheye and ultra wide convertors from sony. The image quality is just fine. Considering the price its better than that. The colors are crisp and clean, with good contrast.

Very very light weight; good image quality for the price; fast accurat focus and makes your nex camera truly pocketable

Corner sharpness

The AF performance is pretty good for a contrast detection system (albeit highly dependent on the base camera). AF operations are basically noiseless. Manual focusing works "by wire" so the focus ring is not directly coupled to the focus gears but to the AF motor.
